I doubt I'll chip in because I don't want the game. The point of Kickstarter in this case is not to get the game for a bargain, but to ensure that the game actually launches.
Hmm... Cosmetically, this thing looks horrible. It probably won't be any more functional either, and either they made the screen smaller or the sides longer. Either way, that's not good.
Those of you who said retro should pick this one up, I agree 100%. After they're done with whatever they're currently working on for the Wii U, make this one a priority. And have it come out on both platforms please.
Unless Nintendo makes the price of download retail games significantly cheaper than the hard copies, I'd so no, they're absolutely not getting it. There is absolutely no reason to download a game when you can get the game (physical copy) +packaging, manuals, extras (AR cards and stuff like that) for the same price. Plus if your system breaks, you have to pay 40 more bucks to get it back.
@3dbrains I'm sure the wire is just for charging purposes, or else to make sure no one steals the controller. As for the rectangle, that could be a relocation of the sensor bar or maybe it means nothing.
Hmm. Not sure what to think, but I would sure love a high-calibur Wii U exclusive racing game like Gran Turismo or Forza... something to show off the power of the system.
I'm putting my money on $350. It would be a bit concerning to me if it wasn't, because that would mean either a) the console really is drastically improved over the current gen but Ninty's selling at a loss, or b) It's really not that improved over PS3 and therefore not that much more expensive. If the console is really that powerful, + the touchscreen/universal remote/tablet controller, I would think the price tag would be a little more hefty, which I'm okay with.

Re: Upcycle Nintendo Gear into Office Equipment
I kinda want one of those Gamecubes... it wouldn't be so useful as fun though probably. XD
Re: Redesigned Wii U Tablet Controller Is Revealed

Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend?
SM3DL and Bird Mania 3d, with some MK7 mixed in.
Re: Review: Bird Mania 3D (3DS eShop)
If in doubt, pick it up. It's worth 2 bucks.
Re: Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth
If this follows the story line of the movie, I'm in.
Re: Gaijin Games Drops Another Hint of Runner 2 on Wii U
I think this should effectively smash all doubt about this game coming to Wii U.
Re: Sakurai Won't Make a Kid Icarus: Uprising Sequel

Re: Ubisoft Announces Avengers Game for Wii U
I'm going to buy this, even if it sucks, because that's how much I love the Avengers. It just has to have the story line as the movie.
Re: A LEGO Lord of the Rings Game is Definitely Happening
That's awesome.
Re: Developers Explain How to Make a 3DS eShop Game
Well, no one's shouting that they're never going to develop for Nintendo again because of it, so that's good.
Re: New Heroes of Ruin Trailer Heads into Battle
This'll be cool to play with my friend.
Re: Adventure Time on DS to be Released 'Late Fall'
This looks horrible, to put it mildly.
Re: Feature: Kid Icarus - Nintendo's Next Big Franchise?
I wouldn't mind if this game got a sequel every couple of years, as long as they don't overdo it.
Re: Talking Point: The Critical Importance of Black Ops 2
@LztheBlehBird You and I may be the only ones here who know that COD is a fish too... I make that joke to some of my friends but they don't get it XD
Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd May 2012 (North America)
Super Hang-On!
Re: Iwata Defends Identical Digital and Retail Prices

Re: Nintendo Download: 3rd May 2012 (Europe)
@dark-insanity Well that's... not that impressive...
Re: Slightly Mad Reveals Project CARS Wii U Features
Yes! Gyroscope steering! I tried this with MK7, and I'd be willing to try it again in a less frantic game.

Re: Wii U Will Launch With Digital Store
That's cool! if the downloads are cheaper than physical copies, I can save some money at launch.
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2 to Kick Off Retail Downloads
I will download NSMB2 if , and only if, the price is right. It should be at least $10-15 cheaper.
Re: Analyst Calls for Mario on Non-Nintendo Platforms
This "analyst" is off his rocker!
Re: Nintendo Sets 10.5 Million Wii U Sales Target
I'll definitely be a part of the 10.5. I'll get a Wii U day one if I can.
Re: Nintendo Sets 10.5 Million Wii U Sales Target
@XCWarrior This number includes Wiis and Wii Us, not just Wii U's
Re: Take On Kid Icarus Multiplayer Masters at HMV Stores
Wish they did this in the U.S. Then I could at least get a free poster!
Re: Konami Announces PES 2013 for Wii and 3DS
Would have been nice had they announced a U version, but oh well.
Re: Review: Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir (3DS)
No doubt in my mind now: I ain't gettin it.
Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising AR Battles Hit the Stage
Eh. This is pretty cool, but I'm not going to buy a magazine just for it.
Re: Heroes of Ruin is GAME-Exclusive in UK
Interesting, although this doesn't effect me.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS
Keep the comments coming! We'll set a record!
Re: New Super Mario Bros. 2
Looks pretty good.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS
It's Mario. How bad can it be? I'll buy it unless it gets bad reviews.
Re: Nintendo Reveals New Super Mario Bros. 2 for 3DS
You know what, I think I will give this a try at some point, even if I wasn't a huge fan of NSMBDS or NSMBW. I mean, how bad can it be?
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th April 2012 (North America)
Downloaded the Pyramids demo. It's pretty good.
Re: Nintendo Download: 19th April 2012 (North America)
Kid Icarus and Pyramids demo sounds pretty good to me, will at least be downloading the demo.
Re: Kid Icarus: Uprising Development Landed on Wii, Briefly
I wouldn't mind a Wii U Kid Icarus game, but it couldn't be a port.
Re: Konami Code Unlocks Extra Votes in the French Presidential Campaign
That's cool, but what does it mean for anyone outside of France? Nothing, really.
Re: Mario Wii U "Based On" New Super Mario Bros. Mii
I would have liked a 3D Mario at launch, but it'll show up eventually I'm sure.
Re: Project CARS
Hmm. Not sure what to think, but I would sure love a high-calibur Wii U exclusive racing game like Gran Turismo or Forza... something to show off the power of the system.

Re: U.S. Patent Cites Wii U as "Universal Remote Controller"
Could it control my PS3? Just kidding although that'd be funny.
Re: Miyamoto: "F-Zero Could Work on Wii U"
Please make this happen Nintendo!
